Also, a big thanks to all who contributed their advice, and Broken09 for the parts, and Victor aka vel525 for borrowing the ECU. BTW, pm and lemme know when you want it back.

Glad to hear you got the car running.

But what were your symptoms? Like the car didnt want to start at all? Or intermittent spark??

My symptoms were as follows:

Driving and it would just shut off and lose spark to all coils (not the electric system though)
Wouldn't start for a while, then it'll start right up like nuttin happened until it shut down again. Thats the only symptoms, no warning or nuttin.

Nice to hear your back on the road. Hopefully I'll get a chance to check out your ride before mine goes back in the shop.
